Having a quality air conditioner, like the different ranges
that Intec air conditioner offers supposes a great tranquility
and comfort to the homes. But this device requires proper
care and maintenance to prevent it from breaking or
clogging. For this, a regular cleaning of the internal filters
and the battery of the outdoor unit should be carried out, as
well as checking the refrigerant gas charge.
Why does the air conditioner leak water?
One of the most frequent questions that users usually ask is
why the air conditioner drains water. In the first place, it
must be said that the amount of water that flows through
the drain is a function of the percentage of humidity in the
environment. This stream is generated by the same air as a
result of condensation.
By putting the air in cold mode, the exchanger of the
indoor unit is flooded with gas at low temperature and
pressure, so that it cools and all the humidity of the air
adheres to the exchanger. It liquefies and falls down the
drain to the tube. Something that is accentuated much more
in summer and especially in the coastal areas, due to the
higher humidity of the environment, where you can, in a
single day, get to generate several liters of water.
The drain of my air conditioner is clogged
Among the different reasons the most "normal" or usual is
that the drain is clogged, usually the domestic air
conditioning units have a drain pipe of a not very large
diameter, in part, because it leaves the factory with that
size and also because it is not unusual for a drain to like the
rest of the installation have to juggle, bending corners,
going up, down, turning 90 °. In short, it is much easier to
handle a small tube than a large one.
I have dirty air conditioning filters
Another possible cause of why water falls from the air
conditioning is because of the screens; the filters are of
vital importance for the proper functioning of our
equipment. Apart from filtering the air, are responsible for
many "faults" that do not exist, dripping, and falling water
is one of those non-existent faults that are produced by a
maintenance of deficient air filters.
